Here's the thing: I have a very nice, well working, program and I would like to put it on the market both for altruistic purposes and to earn some revenue so that I can update it to a more polished product. Since I am not a professional programmer, where can I find someone who can turn in into a real market ready professional product, and what might I expect to have to pay for such work (roughly)? Thanks.

You can set the global gRevAppIcon before calling the ask or answer dialogs. Unfortunately, the globals appear to be reset every time to the defaults, so you have to set them just before using "ask" or "answer" commands, each time. I agree that it's more professional-looking to use your own app's icon in these dialogs. Here's what I do:

...
setupicons
answer "Here is an answer dialog with a custom icon."
...

on setUpIcons
   -- put this in your mainstack or library stack
   global gRevAppIcon
   put 2241 into gRevAppIcon -- the id of your custom icon
end setUpIcons
